A related favorite Japanese word of mine is "sasuga" (lit. "as one would expect") - a compliment that's mild not because the work was merely adequate, but because you trusted the person to meet your high expectations to begin with. I'm a native English speaker and despair for good ways to convey both of these attitudes in code review.

In fact it’s better than good: it is good enough” I find it so funny because it really plays with our normal use of “good enough” as “not good, but useable” but of course it is entirely possible to make something that is good but not good enough
